Edradour is location in the picturesque town of Pitlochry in the Southern Highlands. In 2002 the distillery was bought by Andrew Symington from Signatory Vintage Ltd who had great ideas for the site. He has successfully created a brand in Edradour which now possesses an enthusiastic loyal fan base. During the period since the purchase by Andrew Symington, the brand had done so well that 2018 a new, second distillery was formally planned housing two stills. New warehouses have been built to accommodate the increased production.
The introduction of a variety of cask maturations began with Andrew Symington's acquisition of the distillery and the product range reflects this. The core offering consists of the 10 and 12 year old Caledonia Selection. This range is a marriage of both first fill and second fill Oloroso casks. Also within the core range are various cask strength sherry and bourbon releases. Not forgetting the peated Ballechin 10 year old. In 2022 there were two releases in the Straight From The Cask range which were 10 year old, sherry butt and a 12 year old Ballechin.

Official Tasting Notes
Burnt orange in colour, the spirit reveals notes of soft black grapes, dates, prunes, spicy herbs and saddle leather wrapped around the rich smoke and peat from the Ballechin spirit. Hints of cinnamon and leaf tobacco also emerge on the finish.
